MALAGA

MÁLAGA

one of the oldest cities in the world

I

t is easy to understand why Malaga City is dubbed the Capital of the Costa del Sol. Once considered the poor cousin of Andalusia’s Capital city, Seville, it now competes successfully for attention, thanks to its profusion of quirky museums, innovative restaurants and stylish hotels, many featuring trendy rooftop terraces with bar, pool and stunning views.

The opening of the Picasso Museum in 2003 triggered the city’s cultural rebirth, and visitors are now flocking to this port city which boasts excellent transport, top-class cuisine, and fascinating monuments, from Moorish and Roman times through to modern day - while retaining its authentic Andalucian feel.

Malaga has more museums than any other city in Andalucia - and there are new ones opening al the time.

History and Monuments As well as homage to the great Picasso, other great historic monuments include the imposing Baroque Cathedral, popularly known as ‘La Manquita’ (One Armed Woman), and the newly restored Roman theatre. High on the hill above the city is the Parador, which is situated in the Gibralfaro, a Moorish castle of great historical importance. The Parador is a wonderful place to either stay the night or have a long lunch with fascinating surroundings and panoramic views over 14

Malaga city and out across the port to sea.

Although there has been a certain amount of destruction in Malaga over the centuries, especially during the Spanish Civil War, there is still plenty of proof of the Moorish occupation. Today you can visit the Moorish Alcazaba fortress, dating back to 1065, which also now features a very interesting archaeological museum.

Shopping & Festivities & Things to do Malaga is not only the perfect place to explore the many historical monuments, atmospheric little streets and squares with delightful café culture, but it is also an excellent shopping centre. The main street to head for runs perpendicular to the stunning tree lined avenue, the Alameda, and starts at the Plaza Marina, near the port.

Calle Marqués de Larios was pedestrianised in 2002 as part of improvements to Malaga city centre. The result is a bustling, chic area with many boutiques, designer shops and classy cafes all surrounded by beautifully restored buildings.

At the top of Larios is the main square, Plaza de la Constitución, which is centre of attention when cultural, traditional, and religious events are celebrated. It is especially pretty in December, when a huge Christmas tree and decorations become the focal point. During Semana Santa (Easter Holy Week), Malaga is taken over by

the population of Malaga grows year on year. Included in the many ongoing Municipal projects is the construction of a Metro (underground) system to link up key areas including the large University Campus and the International Congress Centre to the West.

There are many festivals celebrated throughout the year in Malaga, such as the International Jazz Festival (at the beginning of November) and Film Festival (held early in March) and much more. The main theatre and location these and many such events are held, is the excellent and beautiful Teatro Cervantes (Cervantes Theatre) Malaga Airport Pablo Ruiz Picasso Málaga International Airport is one of the busiest airports in Spain, with up to a staggering 16 million passengers annually.

It serves much of Andalusia and especially the ever popular area all along the Costa del Sol. extraordinary religious processions and the square is decked out with tiers of seats for spectators.

Off Calle Larios, in the melee of tiny streets and interesting tapa bars, restaurants and even teterías (Moorish tearooms) you will find other interesting shops and also the bustling main fresh food market, Mercado Central de Atarazanas.

There are also several indoor commercial shopping malls, one just behind the landmark building of the huge quality department store, El Corte Ingles. Whereas previously, Malaga centre used to live up to the southern tradition of keeping the siesta time sacred, more and more shops are now open all day.

Malaga Port The Port of Málaga is an international seaport located in the city of Málaga in southern Spain, on the Costa del Sol coast of the Mediterranean. It is the oldest continuously-operated port in Spain and one of the oldest in the Mediterranean.

Principal port activities include cruise shipping and the importation of containerised manufactured products, break bulk and vehicles. A small fishing fleet also operates from the port.

Some of the smaller, family run businesses may still lock up for a long lunch. But the commercial shopping centers, El Corte Ingles and many of the shops in Calle Larios stay open all day, to meet the demand of the resident or tourist who enjoys the freedom of longer shopping hours.

During the summer months and leading up to Christmas and Kings Day (January 6 th) many specialist shops, such as El Corte Ingles department store extend their hours to open on certain Sundays.

The urban sprawl around the city is undergoing expansion and development as SPOTLIGHT MAGAZINE

Designer Driving..

T

he Fiat 500 is living proof that a high-end lifestyle doesn’t always mean driving the biggest and most powerful four-wheeled machines on the planet.

Thanks to the Fiat 500, you can still enjoy the finer things in life without having to sell your soul for the name of luxury. In 2011 Fiat found a new way to infuse luxury and desire into one small and cute package by striking a partnership with noted Italian luxury brand, Gucci.

Both companies were celebrating anniversaries of some sort – Fiat was commemorating the 150th anniversary of the unification of Italy whereas Gucci was celebrating its 90th birthday - it seemed like a logical move to join forces 24

SPOTLIGHT MAGAZINE

and, well, celebrate together, all in the name of the red, white, and green.

The Fiat 500 by Gucci launched last year is still the most desired small car on the market, available in two exterior body colors: black with chrome details and white with satin chrome details. Both versions of the 500 Gucci have a number of styling references of the Italian luxury fashion shop, including hubcaps that feature the unmistakable interlocking ‘GG’ logo that’s been synonymous with Gucci for as long as the brand has been alive.

The Italian design house also has its signature printed on the 500’s rear hatch and B-column while the rear brake calipers come in the

iconic ‘Gucci green’ color. But the most telling part of the car’s ‘ode to Gucci’ exterior is the fashion company’s signature green-red-green stripe, which runs along the entire perimeter of the 500. Rounding out the upgrades on the exterior is a set of 16” alloy wheels.

As for the interior, each of the two versions of the 500 Gucci have their own set of interior colors with the black version getting a two-tone black and white interior while the white version is getting a similar two-tone ivory and black finish. And just like the Gucci house-stripes on the outside of the car, the interior also gets the same green-red-green stripe treatment on the seats, the seatbelts, the key-cover, the gear knob, and the carpets.

Under its hood, both versions of the 500 by Gucci come with a 1.4-liter TwinAir two-cylinder engine that produces 100 horsepower- not bad for a small car!

Fiat, have done well for themselves with this partnership with Gucci. Not only were they able to combine two market bases the young and the style conscious with one car, but the price tag for the car isn’t big enough to scare away those who thought they might not be able to afford a little piece of luxury, after all what woman wouldn’t want to drive a Gucci!!

THE MAGICAL WORLD OF GLOBAL DEPARTMENT STORE EL CORTE INGLÉS

F

rench born Gaël Vignon at the tender age of 39 is in the fortunate but undoubtedly justly earned position of overseeing the day to day operation of what is perceived by many as the John Lewis of the Costa Del Sol. Spotlight Magazine was lucky enough to catch up with him during his hectic schedule, within their stunning home and decoration department, El Capricho on Marbella’s Golden Mile, to glean an inside track of how El Corte Inglés remains a European leader within the highly competitive retail industry.

What sets El Corte Inglés apart from other global department stores? “There is no other department store like it in Spain. Indeed it is one of the leaders in Europe. We have secured most major brands across Europe and put them all under one roof. This is actually the same concept we have applied to El Capricho. It is one of a kind; unique. We designed this store; an absolute beauty and you will not find anything close to this type of store, in Spain. We decided we would

32

SPOTLIGHT MAGAZINE

catapult all the needs that people could possibly have when buying a house, to the forefront in El Capricho. As you know, most of our customers are foreign. When they come to Spain they need a reliable name and brand. The first thing that comes to their mind is the green triangle. They know that the brand logo is like Macy’s or John Lewis and this inspires confidence.”

You have within El Capricho the highly decorated Red Penguin Gallery. Is this the first time a large department store has had their own art gallery within? “These days a proper decoration shop like this one, with a very high standard, should have an art gallery. The Red Penguin Gallery is exactly the calibre we were looking for, it compliments the two floors we have. One modern; the other classic, the works of art we have are magnificent.

This gallery has been an enormous success and has traded successfully since day one.”

On your website, you say El Corte Inglés can turn your house into the home of your dreams. What specific service do you offer your customers in relation to this? “We have the largest furniture

store on the coast and it is all related to a small team called Crear Hogar which is the interior design studio. Basically, everything you see here is articulated by Crear Hogar, which is run by six designers and six architects. They combine a variety of nationalities including English, Argentinean, Spanish and Swedish. Amongst them, they speak 6 or 7 languages.”

Tell me about the El Corte Inglés Loyalty Card especially for Foreign Residents and why you followed that by introducing the ‘What’s Hot Loyalty Card. “The loyalty card is a big thing, in any country for any business. We have around 10 million loyalty card holders in Spain, the majority of them being national customers, but on the coast it is another matter; half of our customers are foreign, so we designed the What’s Hot Magazine, the What’s Hot Card, and www.whatshot.es, to get closer to our customers and transmit our values, promotions & local news in English. The What’s Hot Loyalty Card, is a great card to have, as it provides so many benefits throughout the Coast at more then 100 premium partners’, including discounts at

various spas, restaurants, golf courses, leisure centres, cinemas, theatres, airport parking etc.

The most popular benefit being a permanent discount on all your shopping at Hipercor! The What’s Hot Loyalty is so easy to get, all it takes is a one minute online registration, or in the Mijas or Marbella stores”.

How do you see El Corte Inglés developing in the future? “El Corte Inglés is one of the leaders within the retail sector of major department stores in Europe and there is no question it will remain so in the future, because all major brands want to be within El Corte Inglés. We will always be able to supply our clients with the latest consumer brands available, and that’s what you want when you go to a Department Store.

Our company philosophy is to provide the best customer service there is. This is how we have established our reputation. This is why we are hugely popular here in Spain.”

CASINO MARBELLA NOT JUST A CASINO! Written by Dawn Gudging

C

asinos bring to mind images of bright lights, glamour, and glitter accompanied by laughter, cries of joy and the buzz of excitement surrounding wins and losses, but Casino Marbella also has another surprise hidden within its doors.

After passing through the Casino Marbella landmark and viewing the impressive selection of cars on it’s forecourt you instantly know you are about to enter into a world of luxury and glamour.

Once inside you can immediately feel the excitement emitting from the players as you pass what can only be described as a Slot Machine Paradise, Casino Marbella offers 101 machines all with differing jackpots; for the traditionalist there are reel slots such as Poker and Keno and for the more adventurous there are the video progressive slots with unimaginable jackpots on offer, adorning the walls of Casino Marbella there is an ever changing exhibition of art and local photography.

Moving inwards you can spy the many other games available from Poker, Blackjack & Roulette where I can imagine that over the years many a person has stood and tried there hand at beating the house.

Now with all this excitement you would think that Casino Marbella is the perfect place to spend an evening and you would be right but wait it has more!

Fung Shui

E

veryone appreciates the benefits of beautiful, comfortable living environments, however, Feng Shui takes the approach that your surroundings affect not just your level of material comfort but also your physical and mental health, your relationships, and your worldly success.

Feng Shui (pronounced “fung shway”) is often referred to as the art of placement. How you place your furniture, possessions, and yourself within your surroundings largely determines your life experience at every level. Feng Shui offers a unique way of looking at yourself and your environment, and it provides a way of bringing balance, comfort, and harmony into your environment in a manner that is difficult to achieve by any other means.

The meaning of the term Feng Shui

Feng Shui is a term composed of two Chinese words: feng (wind) and shui (water). Wind and water are the two natural elements that flow, 108

SPOTLIGHT MAGAZINE

move, and circulate everywhere on Earth. They are also the most basic elements required for human survival. Wind or air is the breath of life; without it, we would die in moments. And water is the liquid of life; without it, we would die in days. The combined qualities of wind and water determine the climate, which historically has determined our food supply and in turn affects our lifestyle, health, energy, and mood.

These two fundamental and flowing elements have always profoundly yet subtly influenced human individuals and societies.

The essence of these life-giving elements is chi, or life force. Wind and water are direct carriers of chi, as their flowing quality reflects their essential nature. All living organisms are largely composed of these two elements. Thus, Feng Shui is the art of designing environments in harmony with the flow of chi through one’s living space, and this flow supports and enhances one’s personal chi or life force.

In the heart of La Heredia Cafeteria y Panaderia La Heredia or the “Dutch Bakery” as people loving refer to it is located only 3 minutes from the motorway up the mountain from San Pedro to Ronda within the beautiful village enclave of La Heredia.

A place where everyone knows you’re name!

No, we’re not talking about the infamous subterranean pub in the unmistakable streets of London, but nestled in the seaside town of Estepona, Spain is a place called Brubecks. Well known to the locals for its Sunday Caveries, a place to watch footy on the T.V. or just to grab a cold pint to escape from the warm weather traditional to the South of Spain.

Introducing the windy city inspired Chicago Burger; fresh home- made burgers, caramelized onions and melted cheese.

Juicy and indeed savoury!

A trip to the bar and you’ll find an assorted selection of bottled imports and beer on the tap for the pint lover’s. Our pitcher special’s of margaritas is the best deal in town and our famous Mojitos, so delicious you can taste how fresh the mint leaf is!

The restaurant features an eccentric option of exotic plates. The California Burrito, with its naughty blends of flavour, sautéed veggies, pulled beef and home-made guacamole, most recommended dish.

A friendly and colourful environment, so enjoy with the animated staff for not just a drink and a meal but a truly enjoyable experience.

Rising popularity & Health benefits of Sushi The last few decades have seen a massive surge in the number of health conscious people worldwide.

From the early eighties people have been keeping a check on the amount of calories they are ingesting.

“Health food” has almost become a fad and Sushi fell into the category of healthy, fashionable and a delightfully exotic cuisine!

Sushi is high in protein and helps to lower cholesterol levels, making it good for the heart. In fact, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recommend consumption of two servings of fish daily. It is, therefore, not surprising that Sushi become an instant hit over night in the USA. It is worth noting here is that while Sushi is essentially fish, the combination of the rice, seaweed and the various vegetables increases the health benefits more. For instance, seaweed is high in protein Vitamin C, Vitamin A and riboflavin (B12).

Fish isn’t called “brain food” for any old reason.

The Omega 3 fats in certain fishes help protect the nervous system. These fats also help to prevent mental illnesses and maintain optimum blood sugar levels. As a result, Sushi can help with depression.

Moreover, Omega 3 fats supply proteins and Vitamin D to the body, thus boosting the overall immune system.

The rising popularity of Sushi is accredited to another factor – its exoticism. Cuisines from eastern countries generally become popular due to the mysticism associated to the culture of those countries and the fact that Sushi serves as a highly nutritious fast food has made it even more appealing to the masses.
